The purpose of the work is to study the most frequent violent verbal expressions used by the students of the third grade of Secondary Education of the Mariscal Cáceres Emblematic Educational Institution, of Ayacucho, when addressing a study partner; in the same way, the aggressive phrases most used by parents in the domestic sphere. For the collection of empirical information, a survey form has been applied, where students of both sexes were asked to identify the violent languages with which they insult each other, as well as to register aggressive words expressed by their parents in situations of family violence at home.

To cope with this situation, students take various decisions and actions: complaining to their parents and ...
